The movie delivers and is one of the year’s best and most inventive action pictures...

Full Review | Original Score: A | Mar 6, 2024

Pumped up with a lot of action and definitely bolder that the first sequel, but somewhere it failed when it came to storytelling.

Full Review | Oct 25, 2023

Extraction 2 is a rousing action movie with some much-needed gravitas for Rake. The stakes are higher and Hargrave delivers a solidly entertaining movie with all the exploding helicopters and hand to hand fight scenes that the audience requires.

Full Review | Sep 6, 2023

While the first film is a solid but unevenly paced action hit, the follow up is a slicker, highly exhilarating ride that sees returning director Sam Hargrave and his team ramp up everything that worked so well the first time around.

You can cut your brain completely off, turn on Extraction 2, sit back and enjoy the video game violence and unbelievable set pieces.

Full Review | Original Score: C + | Aug 1, 2023

This sequel doubles down on what worked in the first film, while giving us a a larger scope with some incredibly brutal action.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 21, 2023

There’s nothing that feels like you could touch it or smell it.

Full Review | Jul 20, 2023

William Hoy and Alex Rodríguez stitch the sequence together with such precision that it doesn't jar at all.

Though its not as emotionally gripping as its predecessor, Extraction 2 is an awesome action film led by the enigmatic Chris Hemsworth.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2023

Hemsworth doesn’t mind stretching his abilities and taking roles with different shades, but he’s a great action star. It pumps oxygen into his movie star engine, because he looks the part and lifts the film up to another level with his dedication.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Jul 14, 2023

2023 looks to be an amazing year for action. While the strict is straight forward, Hemsworth and director Hargrave deliver some of the best and most memorable action sequences of the year.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 13, 2023

Occasionally, the dizzying filmmaking style, a mix of practical stunt work and invisible VFX, feels like a video-game cutscene. More often, it just sucks the air from your lungs.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 6, 2023

An almost perfect crystallization of what Shakespeare called sound and fury signifying nothing, but it should suffice for viewers looking for spectacular, if empty, action bombast.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jul 6, 2023

A brainless action pic efficiently directed as if a video game.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 5, 2023

In the end, Extraction 2 delivers precisely what it promises. A genuinely gripping, adrenaline-charged two-hour action-packed movie.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 4, 2023

With its bigger, broader swath of carnage, Extraction 2 improves upon the original and isn’t unpleasant (you know, unless you’re bothered by watching hundreds of deaths on screen).

Full Review | Jul 3, 2023

Extraction 2 doesn’t quite match the quality of the John Wick and The Raid franchises, but it does an admirable job of trying to emulate them.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 28, 2023

A nutty movie that's just like the first. If you love the way that first movie was constructed, then it's a knockdown bang fest.

The brutal fights continue to be the best reason to watch this film. [Full review in Spanish]

Director Sam Hargrave and writer Joe Russo leave no stones unturned to upstage the relentless action set pieces of the first part — and boy, do they succeed.
